Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does an inch-ounce represent?
-
An inch-ounce is an energy or torque unit from a one ounce-force acting through one inch, used for small torque measurements.
-
How is a horsepower hour defined?
-
A horsepower hour measures energy delivered by one horsepower continuously for one hour, commonly based on mechanical horsepower.
-
Why convert inch-ounces to horsepower hours?
-
Conversion helps translate small torque energies into larger mechanical work units for comparisons or energy calculations.
Key Terminology
-
Inch-ounce [in*ozf]
-
A small energy or torque unit based on one ounce-force acting through one inch displacement.
-
Horsepower hour [hp*h]
-
An energy unit equal to one horsepower delivered continuously for one hour, based typically on mechanical horsepower.
-
Torque
-
A measure of rotational force applied at a distance from an axis.
